With the current KTurtle it is, as a matter of fact, a matter of 'just'
replacing an image file. The turtle sprite is loaded out of an SVG file. The
file is called 'turtle.svg' and is in the src directory of KTurtle's source.
The SVG is included in the KTurtle binary, so you'll have to recompile
KTurtle to change the sprite. There's also a grey version, which is used in
the direction chooser dialog.

I can imagine that this isn't the most convient way to change the sprite.
Implementing a 'changesprite' command wouldn't be very difficult. If there
is demand for such a feature, I might consider putting it into KTurtle.
